INSTALLATION

.A
Provide pumps to operate at specified system fluid
temperatures without vapor binding and cavitations, are nonoverloading in parallel or individual operation, and operate within
25 percent of midpoint of published maximum efficiency curve.
.B
Install long radius reducing elbows or reducers
between pump and piping. Support piping adjacent to pump so no
weight is carried on pump casings. For base mounted pumps, install
supports under elbows on pump suction and discharge line sizes
100 mm and over.
